Since it is a British recipe the measurements are a bit tricky but there aren’t a whole lot of ingredients so it’s not overwhelming. The only ingredient you may not find on your typical supermarket shelf are the chestnuts. I got mine from Whole Foods.

I used a small pizza pan (although any size will do) as my rectangular baking trays were not wide enough. I also used parchment paper to line it.

Pepperidge Farm makes a nice puff pastry. Be sure to read the instructions on how to handle your pastry to keep it from drying out.

I used a large plate and small sharp knife to make my pastry discs (saving the leftover bits).

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F / gas mark 7. Line a large round baking tray such as a pizza sheet.

2. Place all the filling ingredients into a large wok or pan with a lid and cook with the lid on over a low to medium heat until the tofu has melted and all the filling ingredients have cooked down to a thick sauce type texture. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

3. Cut out two large discs to fit the baking tray from the rolled pastry. Place one disc onto the lined baking sheet.

4. Pile the filling ingredients into the middle of the pastry disc and then sit the other pastry circle on top of the filling, crimping the edges with your forefinger and a knife to make an attractive pattern

5. With a sharp knife make pattern on the pastry lid such as a sunbeam or diamond.

6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is a deep golden brown and is puffed up.
